Dead Space 2 'more action than horror'

Dead Space 2 will feature less horror and more action that its predecessor, according to developer Visceral Games. Viscerial games also developed Dante’s Inferno which hits UK stores on Friday.
"We've got two main teams; we've got some supporting content for Dante's Inferno coming out, but we'll mostly shift our attention to Dead Space 2," Visceral senior VP Nick Earl told Industry Gamers.
"The first one was well received, and we want to take advantage of that start with something that has tremendously wide appeal. “
"We're more focused on the action than the horror this time. We're more empowering to the player. We've got a lot of feature innovation and we feel comfortable because we have something with resonane and we have something that's so capable.”
He added: "I've heard some people say that Dead Space was the most "un-EA game" they had seen, and they meant it as a compliment!”
"That's one thing we like about Visceral; we can really establish a new audience with it. I feel it's on the pathway to greatness and being widely recognized. We love the culture we've established in doing edgy properties like Dead Space and Dante's Inferno, created with the philosophy "let's build quality and let the rest follow."
In a way though for us Aussie gamers, is that its probably a good thing there will be less horror in Dead Space 2 as it will make classification much easier for Viscerial games.
